Explanation of the steps taken to transpose the provisions of GTR No. 14 into a type-approval UN Regulation on pole side-impact protection, including discussion of the scope, impact side, treatment of hydrogen vehicles, and proposal for a 01 series of amendments that would entail a 26 km/h impact speed for narrow vehicles initially before the amendments would bring narrow vehicles into line with other vehicles at 32 km/h.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation transposing the requirements of the UN Global Technical Regulation on pole side impact (GTR No. 14). This proposal is accompanied by a proposal for a 01 series of amendments (documentGRSP/2014/12) that would enable Contracting Parties applying this Regulation to require a vehicle-to-pole impact speed of 32 ± 1 km/h regardless of the “vehicle width”. This proposal supersedes the earlier version presented in document GRSP/2014/9.
